How to know if a someone's crosshair is on someone else?

Here I have 2 persons, A and B lets say.

If A is aiming at B, how can I know that?

I've tried using edict->v_angle and some vector functions but no luck, any advices?

Re: How to know if a someone's crosshair is on someone else?

Basicaly we are using DotProduct function to consider aiming.

Code:



(...)

 float flDot = GetShootingConeDeviation (pEdict, &vecEnemy);



 if (flDot > 0.99) 

{

       pBot->bWantsToFire = TRUE;

}

(...)



float GetShootingConeDeviation (edict_t *pEdict, Vector *pvecPosition)

{

   Vector vecDir = (*pvecPosition - GetGunPosition (pEdict)).Normalize ();

   Vector vecAngle = pEdict->v.v_angle;



   MAKE_VECTORS (vecAngle);



   // He's facing it, he meant it

   return (DotProduct (gpGlobals->v_forward, vecDir));

}

I hope that helps You.
